Title: [POLL] Benjamin parity by end of April?
Post by: KTE on March 21, 2013, 06:17:18 PM
Interested in assessing the general mood of the Speculation forum now, after a few insane growth days. What do you think, $100 within a month and a half?

Within the realm of possibility, but you never know :)

Sooner than that. We just rose $25 in two-three days. Unless we pause at sub $75 it could be at $100 before the end of next week.

Considering we've seen 50% increase in 2 days, I don't think it's too bold to predict 37% increase in 1.5 months...

Kind of expected this shift in attitudes here. Talking about a $30 increase in price within a month seems like nothing now .. so far only 10% think it's not gonna happen.

Two weeks ago, or even a week ago the reaction would've been quite different I believe.

Well, you can't really tell if there's been a shift unless you also made the poll 2 weeks ago. I would have voted yes on this poll at any time after October of last year.  No shift for me?

The active thread titles and general content of replies point to a shift in attitudes. The exact reaction to this poll, sure I don't know what it would've been, but there's clearly been an attitude change from two weeks ago.

Oh, I'm aware Elwar. Can't say I haven't already done that!

Those would be good payouts for the bears (assuming we don't hit it), if they had any BTC left to bet with.  :D  ;D

Yeah right put your bitcoins into some site that can go away soon for two+ years is an awesome idea... Unless of course you want to play with 0.1 bets, which I see absolutely no reason to spend time doing, betting 10$ for something that happens in two years is not "putting your money where your mouth is", but childs play. Buying bitcoins with considerable portion of your money, on the other hand, very much is.

I bet .1 BTC that Rand Paul will not be president in 2016. I put in the bet when the price was around $47/BTC. So a $4.70 bet for something 3 years from now.

I figure if Rand Paul wins...good deal, I am only out $4.70 and the country is on its way toward getting back on track.

If he loses, BTC will likely be over $10k each and I will win a buttload of money.

If (when  ;D) he wins, and BTC is over $10k, you'll be out $1k with your 0.1 bet....

Sooner than that. We just rose $25 in two-three days. Unless we pause at sub $75 it could be at $100 before the end of next week.
Could be that soon but my guess is before the end of the month given the recent trend.
